The Outlook for the Lumber
Business.

Lumber operations last year were
limited by several unfortunate and I'M
avoidabe conditions. chiefly among which
was the failure of water at the time when
the drives were made. Many firms could
not run the accustomed length of time on
account of the scarcity of logs. The de-
mand from the South and West was good
and increased toward the close of the
year. so that many yards were cleared of
every available and understandable stick
to the disadvantage of home consumption.
This condition of things encouraged the
1umbermen to more extensive operations
in the woods during the winter. The
amount of timber to come down the rivers
would have been very large when COM
pared with that of previous years, had the
plans been carried cut; for many millions
of last years cut remained in the small
streams and ponds. But the severity of
the winters storms and the unusual depth
of snow prevented in great measure, the
.consummation of these plans. With last
wears cut, the available amount of logs
for the mills, in case they are brought
down the rivers. will not greatly exceed the
average quantity sawed.
But another discouraging feature is the
cost OF this winters cut. Not for many
years have crews worked under such dis
advantages. The deep SHOWS interfered

more than can be realized, with the opera
tons, causing the employment OF larger
crews and in many instances impeding
work completely. There is also loss in
the cutting, for without shoveling it was
impossible to get down to the proper
length ofstump. Injuries to horses and the
necessity of killing many for want OF food
and the unusually large expense IN OBJ
tanning what provisions were possible.
have diminished the profits of the years
business. But the disadvantages OF this
years business do not end here. BY the
passage of the interstate commerce law.
those mill firms which are obliged to ship
by rail, will be required to pay increased
freight tariffs, rthe special rates that have
heretofore been given them have been
thereby annulled. The ten hour law may
not interfere materially with the saw mills
Since men, land boys of 16 years and over,
only, are employed they will be run either
ten or eleven hours at the option OF the
owner. Yet some millmen are making
anxious inquiries concerning certain pro-
visions of the law, for if it should affect
them, their difficulties will be increased.
In opposition to all this however, the
outlook for prices is good. The demands
come from those sections to which lumber
can be shipped by water. Those mills
which are provided with facilities of navi-
cation will surely reap the harvest. Yet
those not so situated will have promise of
good returns tor their product unless a
great decline in the market should follow
the first of the seasons production. The
lumber dealers of the great markets are
making efforts to induce Maine lumbermen
to advance the prices on spruce lumber es.
pecially, by an average increase of little
more than one dollar per thousand and to
hold it there. Such move seems neces-
sary when the actual state of the business
is considered, but there comes hesitancy
on account OF the competition feared
from the Canadian products. Millmen
think that a higher tariff would in great
measure benefit them, for in order to meet
present competition, they are obliged to
employ foreigners to cut and drive the
logs. However, an advance in prices is
assured both by the market demand and
by cost of production; and it will be made
more certain should this springs drives be
interfered with by freshets or hindered by
lack of water. Every available log for early
saving ia held at higher price than ever
before and manufacturing will commence
as soon as possible.
